Can't wait to see this. I hope I like it better than the Droid. I would love to find a marker that I would purchase new for a change.

Honestly, we know it'll shoot amazing, cos its MD.

Some of the "innovations" are cool
Some are iffy.

But honestly, it reminds me of the "ul" milled 06 borgs people have had done in the past...

:shrug: just have to see more pictures, and shoot one, i guess ;)

The pre order deal is amazing. 1250, free shipping, free barrel kit, etc.

Eh could they have gotten the HPR any further away from the trigger guard? It's going to be like shooting an M98 with that kind of setup.

It has 2 good things going for it 1 it looks like an unmilled Ego which I like and 2 it's a Dev.

jeez, that marker makes we want to start plying paintball again.

Too bad married life is leaving me cashless.
Plus I have to support my firearm addiction and newfound tuner addiction.
Maybe I'll start playing the Lottery. I could use a few million.
I'll bet I could spend $150k in one day on car parts, guns, and markers.

I'm not sure I call that a "deal"

IMO it looks are the same as 50% of the guns on the market, with the other 50% being spoolies. Maybe the upgrades will be decent though

Have you ever shot a borg/droid?

its NOT like an m98. Infact, its amazing.

Its balanced, it makes the gun feel much better than the forgrip ontop of the triggerframe.

Trust me.

When they're goign to retail for 1299, not come with a barrel kit, ship about a month later than the preorder, and you'll have to pay for shipping.... 1250 with a barrel kit and free shipping a month prior to everyone else is a "deal."

by how much? I bet if I did a 95% confidence interval between the difference of mean, statistically there would be no significant difference :p haha ignore me, preparing for another useless exam.

Trust me.

Eh, I hate long guns. The foregrip being on top of the guard feels so much better to me. I hate for example the feel of 2k2 timmies because of how much distance there is. 2k5's feel so much more balanced. Just looking at that thing makes me feel like my elbow is going to pop out from my arm being overextended lol.

I just wish they had done a Quest type setup where you can change the position of the frame forward or backward.

Not that I've got 1250 to throw down for a gun right now lol.

kinda looks like a halfbacked spyder with a nice frame. I like the bolt though

My thoughts after seeing more:

MD Has always listened to their customers. First they made the borg an efficiecny and speed machine. They cared more about performance than looks (ala blocky *** 04-05 borgs.)

They did some fine honing for the 06 and 07.

Now, being a frequenter of the MD section on PBN i'd have to say 90% of the "issues" users have with MD guns are due to dirt in the system.

The new reg design incorporates a filter. All of the droid issues were because of dirt on the reg-seat causing the reg to spike, and blow apart the bolts.

With the enclosed bolt, and the filtered reg, this gun should be pretty much bulletproof.

Also, with the whole bottom tube coming out with the back cap, you wont have to take the frame off to get the valve out - Very nice. a Tech's dream.

Now that MD had a fine-tuned gun (performance wise) - they decided to improve on things people have asked for in the past (weight, style) and they threw in the other nice little features.

At first glance i was not impressed, as i see more, i'm really thinking i might pick one up.

This reminds me of the PTP inline CO2 filter I found in my parts box.

Something I would pay for is an HPA filter/fill-rate-limiter that has a male and female QD to put between my bottle and a fill station. Maybe I just need to dig through some pneumatic catalogs.

these 2 points were the main reasons i sold my 06. however i miss it dearly :(

always got dirt and/or paint down into the workings of the gun which caused nearly all of my issues out on the field.

and when i had those issues, it was a pain to get to everything that i needed to get to, to properly clean them.

if i had the money, id be on the preorder list for sure :headbang:

I just sold all my gear off (well, the stuff i didnt use hardly) - Kept my primary electro, and my pump...

Which, i was gonna save the money, but i'm thinking i might have to get on the pre-order list..

Cos you know, if i needed the money bad enough, i could sell it to someone who didnt get on the preorders, and dont want to wait for the production run :)

Just read that its 4 eye capable.

Oh my god it looks incredible. Streamline eye covers, no bolt pin, standard with a clamping feedneck, OLED display...

If I had the money to, I would buy this in a heartbeat. I can definitely see myself buying one in the future. I wonder if NOX coding can be flashed on this board, and if these boards will be compatible with older 'Borgs. Yeah it sounds weird, but if I can't buy the RX I would love to slap that board into my '06 with the NOX code.
